Abstract
BACKGROUND A key component of preoperative preparation for pelvic exenteration surgery is the development of an operative plan in a multidisciplinary setting based on the extent of local tumor invasion on preoperative imaging. Changes to the extent of resection or operative plan may occur intraoperatively based on intraoperative findings. OBJECTIVE To report the frequency and extent of intraoperative deviation from the planned extent of resection during pelvic exenteration for locally recurrent rectal cancer and determine whether this resulted in a more or less radical resection. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTINGS A high-volume pelvic exenteration center. PATIENTS Patients who underwent pelvic exenteration for locally recurrent rectal cancer between January 2015 and December 2020. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Frequency and extent of intraoperative deviation from the planned extent of resection, R0 resection rate. RESULTS One hundred thirty-six patients underwent pelvic exenteration for locally recurrent rectal cancer, of whom 110 (81%) had R0 resection margins. Twelve patients were excluded because of missing information, and 49 patients (40%) had a change to the operative plan. Operative changes were major in 30 patients (61%), more radical in 40 patients (82%), and margin relevant in 24 patients (49%). In patients in whom there was a change to the operative plan and R0 resection was achieved, the median distance to a relevant margin was 2.5 mm (range, 0.1-10 mm). Of 8 patients with a change in operative plan and R1 resection, 3 were margin relevant, of whom all were considered major, and 2 were more radical and 1 was less radical. LIMITATIONS Generalizability outside of specialist units may be limited. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative changes to the planned extent of resection occur commonly and most often result in an unanticipated major or more radical resection. Such changes may contribute to high rates of R0 resection margins in specialist pelvic exenteration units that use an ultraradical approach in these patients. See Video Abstract . IMPACTO DE LA TOMA DE DECISIONES INTRAOPERATORIA SOBRE EL ESTADO DEL MARGEN PATOLGICO EN PACIENTES SOMETIDOS A EXENTERACIN PLVICA POR RECURRENCIA LOCAL EN CNCER DE RECTO ANTECEDENTES:Un componente clave de la preparación preoperatoria para exenteración pélvica es el desarrollo de un plan quirúrgico en un entorno multidisciplinario, basado en el grado de invasión tumoral local en las imágenes preoperatorias. Es posible que se produzcan cambios intraoperatorios en la extensión de la resección o en el plan quirúrgico según los hallazgos intraoperatorios.OBJETIVO:Informar la frecuencia y la extensión de la desviación intraoperatoria de la extensión planificada de la resección durante la exenteración pélvica para el cáncer de recto localmente recurrente, y si esto resultó en una resección más o menos radical.DISEÑO:Estudio observacional retrospectivo.ESCENARIO:Un centro de exenteración pélvica de alto volumen.PACIENTES:Pacientes sometidos a exenteración pélvica por cáncer de recto localmente recurrente entre enero de 2015 y diciembre de 2020.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Frecuencia y extensión de desviación intraoperatoria de la extensión planeada de resección, tasa de resección R0.RESULTADOS:136 pacientes fueron sometidos a exenteración pélvica por cáncer de recto localmente recurrente, de los cuales 110 (81%) tuvieron márgenes de resección R0. 12 pacientes fueron excluidos por falta de información y 49 pacientes (40%) tuvieron un cambio en el plan quirúrgico. Los cambios operatorios fueron mayores en 30 pacientes (61%), más radicales en 40 pacientes (82%) y con relevancia sobre márgenes en 24 pacientes (49%). En los pacientes en los que hubo un cambio en el plan quirúrgico y se logró la resección R0, la distancia mediana hasta un margen relevante fue de 2.5 mm (rango 0.1-10 mm). De ocho pacientes con un cambio en el plan quirúrgico y resección R1, tres tuvieron relevancia sobre márgenes de los cuales todos se consideraron mayores, dos fueron más radicales y uno fue menos radical.LIMITACIONES:La generalización fuera de las unidades especializadas puede ser limitada.CONCLUSIONES:Los cambios intraoperatorios en la extensión planificada de la resección ocurren comúnmente y con mayor frecuencia resultan en una resección mayor imprevista y más radical. Dichos cambios pueden contribuir a altas tasas de márgenes de resección R0 en unidades especializadas en EP que emplean un enfoque ultrarradical en estos pacientes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extended radical resection is often the only chance of cure for locally recurrent rectal cancer. Recurrence in the posterior compartment often necessitates en bloc sacrectomy as part of pelvic exenteration to obtain clear resection margins and provide survival benefit. OBJECTIVE To compare oncological outcomes, morbidity, and quality-of-life outcomes following pelvic exenteration with and without en bloc sacrectomy for recurrent rectal cancer. DESIGN Comparative cohort study with retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. SETTING This study was conducted at a high-volume pelvic exenteration center. PATIENTS Patients who underwent pelvic exenteration for locally recurrent rectal cancer between 1994 and 2022. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Overall survival, postoperative morbidity, R0 resection margin, and quality-of-life outcomes. RESULTS Of 965 patients, 305 (31.6%) underwent pelvic exenteration for locally recurrent rectal cancer. Among these patients, 64.3% were men and the median age was 62 years (range, 29-86). One hundred eighty-five patients (60.7%) underwent en bloc sacrectomy, 65 (35.1%) underwent high transection, and 119 (64.3%) had sacrectomy below S2. R0 resection was achieved in 80% of patients with sacrectomy and 72.5% of patients without sacrectomy. Sacrectomy patients experienced more postoperative complications without increased mortality. The median overall survival was 52 months; median survival was 47 months with sacrectomy and 73 months without ( p = 0.059). Quality-of-life scores were not significantly different across physical component ( p = 0.346), mental component ( p = 0.787), or Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Colorectal ( p = 0.679) scores at 24-month follow-up. LIMITATIONS The generalizability of these findings may be limited outside of subspecialist exenteration units. Selection bias exists in a retrospective analysis. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing pelvic exenteration with and without en bloc sacrectomy for locally recurrent rectal cancer experience similar rates of R0 resection, survival, and quality-of-life outcomes. As R0 remains the most important predictor of survival, the requirement of sacral resection should prompt referral to a subspecialist center that performs sacrectomy routinely. See Video Abstract . RESULTADOS DESPUS DE LA EXENTERACIN PLVICA PARA EL CNCER DE RECTO CON RECURRENCIA LOCAL, CON Y SIN SACRECTOMA EN BLOQUE ANTECEDENTES:La resección radical ampliada es generalmente la única posibilidad de curación para el cáncer de recto con recurrencia local. La recurrencia en el compartimento posterior generalmente requiere sacrectomía en bloque como parte de la exenteración pélvica para obtener márgenes de resección claros y proporcionar un beneficio de supervivencia.OBJETIVO:Comparar los resultados oncológicos, de morbilidad y de calidad de vida después de la exenteración pélvica con y sin sacrectomía en bloque para el cáncer de recto recurrente.DISEÑO:Estudio de cohorte comparativo con análisis retrospectivo de datos recopilados prospectivamente.AMBIENTE AJUSTE:Estudio realizado en un centro de exenteración pélvica de alto volumen.PACIENTES:Aquellos sometidos a exenteración pélvica por cáncer de recto con recurrencia local entre 1994 y 2022.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Supervivencia general, morbilidad posoperatoria, margen de resección R0 y resultados de calidad de vida.RESULTADOS:305 (31,6%) de 965 pacientes se sometieron a exenteración pélvica por cáncer de recto con recurrencia local. El 64,3% de los pacientes eran hombres con una mediana de edad de 62 años (rango 29-86). 185 pacientes (60,7%) fueron sometidos a sacrectomía en bloque, 65 (35,1%) fueron sometidos a transección alta, 119 (64,3%) tuvieron sacrectomía por debajo de S2. La resección R0 se logró en el 80% de los pacientes con sacrectomía y en el 72,5% sin ella. Los pacientes de sacrectomía experimentaron más complicaciones postoperatorias sin aumento de la mortalidad. La mediana de supervivencia global fue de 52 meses, 47 meses con sacrectomía y 73 meses sin sacrectomía ( p = 0,059). Las puntuaciones de calidad de vida no fueron significativamente diferentes entre las puntuaciones del componente físico ( p = 0,346), componente mental ( p = 0,787) o la evaluación funcional de la terapia contra el cáncer - colorrectal ( p = 0,679) a los 24 meses de seguimiento.LIMITACIONES:La generalización de estos hallazgos puede estar limitada fuera de las unidades de exenteración de subespecialistas. Existe un sesgo de selección en un análisis retrospectivo.CONCLUSIONES:Los pacientes sometidos a exenteración pélvica con y sin sacrectomía en bloque por cáncer de recto con recurrencia local experimentan tasas similares de resección R0, supervivencia y resultados de calidad de vida. Como R0 sigue siendo el predictor más importante de supervivencia, la necesidad de resección sacra debe provocar la derivación a un centro subespecialista que realice sacrectomía de forma rutinaria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare perioperative morbidity, functional and quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes in patients with partial cystectomy vs radical cystectomy as part of pelvic exenteration. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of pelvic exenteration patients (1998-2021) was conducted in a single centre. Study outcomes included postoperative complications, quality-of-life, functional and stoma-related outcomes. The 36-item Short-Form Health Survey Physical and Mental Health Components, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Colorectal questionnaires and Distress Thermometer were available pre- and postoperatively. QoL outcomes were compared at the various time points. Stoma embarrassment and care scores were compared between patients with a colostomy, urostomy, and both. RESULTS Urological complications were similar between both groups, but patients with partial cystectomy experienced less wound-related complications. Overall, 34/81 (42%) partial cystectomy patients reported one or more long-term voiding complication (i.e., incontinence [17 patients], frequency [six], retention [three], high post-voiding residuals [10], permanent suprapubic catheter/indwelling catheter [14], recurrent urinary tract infection [nine], percutaneous nephrostomy [three], progression to urostomy [three]). The QoL improved following surgery in both the partial and radical cystectomy groups, differences between cohorts were not significant. Patients with two stomas reported higher embarrassment scores than patients with one stoma, although this did not result in more difficulties in stoma care. CONCLUSIONS Partial cystectomy patients have fewer postoperative wound-related complications than radical cystectomy patients, but often experience long-term voiding issues. The QoL outcomes are similar for both cohorts, with significant improvement following surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of the study is to compare 2 techniques for histological handling of rectal cancer specimens, namely whole-mount in a large block vs conventional sampling using small blocks, for mesorectal pathological assessment of circumferential resection margin status and depth of tumor invasion into the mesorectal fat. METHODS This is a prospective study including 27 total mesorectal excision specimens of rectal cancer from patients treated for primary rectal carcinoma between 2020 and 2022 in a specialized multidisciplinary Colorectal Unit. For each total mesorectal excision specimen, 2 contiguous representative tumoral slices were selected and comparatively analyzed with whole-mount and small blocks macroscopic dissection techniques, enabling comparison between them in the same surgical specimen. The agreement between the 2 techniques to assess the distance of the tumor from the circumferential resection margin as well as the depth of tumor invasion was evaluated with the Student's t-test for paired samples, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and the Bland-Altman method comparison analysis. RESULTS Complete mesorectal excision was observed in 8% of cases. Circumferential resection margin involvement was observed in only one case (4 %). The whole-mount and small block techniques obtained similar results when we assessed the distance to the circumferential resection margin (t-test P = 0.8, r = 0.92) and the depth of mesorectal infiltration (t-test P = 0.6, r = 0.95). CONCLUSIONS Both gross dissection techniques (whole-mount vs multiple small cassettes) are equivalent and reliable to assess the distance to circumferential resection margin and the depth of mesorectal infiltration in the mesorectal fat in rectal cancer staging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Using standard anterior approaches, consistent R0 resection of locally advanced primary and recurrent rectal and anal cancer involving the deep pelvic sidewall may be unattainable. Therefore, to improve R0 resection rates, we have used a posterior-first, then anterior 2-stage approach to resection of tumors in this location. OBJECTIVE To assess the R0 resection rate and surgical outcomes of the first 10 patients operated on using this approach. DESIGN We conducted a retrospective case series review of our prospectively maintained surgical pathology and tumor registries. SETTING This study was conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. PATIENTS Ten patients (6 female individuals, median age 53.5 years) with primary or recurrent anal or rectal cancer treated with a posterior-first, then anterior 2-stage approach were identified. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measures were the R0 resection rate and surgical outcomes. RESULTS An R0 resection was achieved in all 10 patients. Nine patients developed 1 or more 30-day Clavien-Dindo grade III complications. Nine patients developed gluteal wound complications ranging from superficial wound dehiscence to flap necrosis. During the follow-up period, 4 patients were found to have metastatic disease and 1 patient had local re-recurrence. LIMITATIONS Small cohort with heterogeneous tumors and a short follow-up duration. CONCLUSION A posterior-first, then anterior 2-stage approach has allowed us to achieve consistent R0 resection margins in locally advanced primary and recurrent rectal and anal cancers involving the deep pelvic sidewall. Poor wound healing of the posterior gluteal incision is a common complication. See Video Abstract.

Nueve pacientes desarrollaron una o más complicaciones de grado III de Clavien-Dindo a los 30 días. Nueve pacientes desarrollaron complicaciones de la herida del glúteo que variaron desde dehiscencia superficial de la herida hasta necrosis del colgajo. Durante el período de seguimiento, se encontró que 4 pacientes tenían enfermedad metastásica y un paciente tuvo recurrencia local.LIMITACIONES:Cohorte pequeño con tumores heterogéneos y corta duración de seguimiento.CONCLUSIÓN:Un abordaje en 2 etapas, primero posterior y luego anterior, nos ha permitido lograr márgenes de resección R0 consistentes en cánceres de recto y anal primarios y recurrentes localmente avanzados que afectan la pared lateral pélvica profunda. La mala cicatrización de la incisión glútea posterior es una complicación común. (Traducción-Dr. Aurian Garcia Gonzalez).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of changing our sacrectomy approach from prone to anterior on surgical and oncological outcomes. BACKGROUND In patients with advanced pelvic malignancy involving the sacrum, pelvic exenteration (PE) with en-bloc sacrectomy is the only potential curative option but morbidity is high. Over time sacrectomy techniques have evolved from prone sacrectomy (PS) to abdominolithotomy sacrectomy (ALS, ≤S3) and high anterior cortical sacrectomy (HACS, >S3) to optimize surgical outcomes. METHODS A retrospective, single institution analysis of prospectively collected data for patients undergoing PE with en-bloc sacrectomy between 1994 and 2021 was performed. RESULTS A total of 363 patients were identified and divided into PS (n=77, 21.2%), ALS (n=247, 68.0%), and HACS (n=39, 10.7%). Indications were: locally advanced (n=92) or recurrent (n=177) rectal cancer, primary other (n=31), recurrent other (n=60), and benign disease (n=3). PS resulted in longer operating time ( P <0.01) and more blood loss ( P <0.01). Patients with HACS had more major nerve (87.2%) and vascular (25.6%) resections ( P <0.01). Vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap repair was less common following HACS (7.7%) than ALS (25.5%) and PS (27.3%) ( P =0.040). R0 rate was 80.8%, 65.8%, and 76.9% following ALS, PS, and HACS, respectively ( P =0.024). Wound-related complications and re-operations were significantly reduced following ALS and HACS compared with PS. CONCLUSIONS Changing our practice from PS to an anterior approach with ALS or HAS has been safe and improved overall surgical and perioperative outcomes, while maintaining good oncological outcomes. Given the improved perioperative and surgical outcomes, it would be important for surgeons to learn and adopt the anterior sacrectomy approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the timeframe and associated changes in the microenvironment that promote the development of a diet-induced local-regional recurrence in a mouse model of colorectal surgery. BACKGROUND Postoperative recurrence and metastasis occur in up to 30% of patients undergoing attempted resection for colorectal cancer (CRC). The underlying mechanisms that drive the development of postoperative recurrences are poorly understood. Preclinical studies have demonstrated a diet and microbial-driven pathogenesis of local-regional recurrence, yet the precise mechanisms remain undefined. METHODS BALB/C mice were fed a western diet (WD) or standard diet (SD), underwent a colon resection and anastomosis, given an Enterococcus faecalis enema on postoperative day (POD) 1, and subjected to a CT26 cancer cell enema (mimicking shed cancer cells) on POD2. Mice were sacrificed between POD3 and POD7 and cancer cell migration was tracked. Dynamic changes in gene expression of anastomotic tissue that were associated with cancer cell migration was assessed. RESULTS Tumor cells were identified in mice fed either a SD or WD in both anastomotic and lymphatic tissue as early as on POD3. Histology demonstrated that these tumor cells were viable and replicating. In WD-fed mice, the number of tumor cells increased over the early perioperative period and was significantly higher than in mice fed a SD. Microarray analysis of anastomotic tissue found that WD-fed mice had 11 dysregulated genes associated with tumorigenesis. CONCLUSIONS A WD promotes cancer cells to permeate a healing anastomosis and migrate into anastomotic and lymphatic tissue forming viable tumor nodules. These data offer a novel recurrence pathogenesis by which the intestinal microenvironment promotes a CRC local-regional recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In some surgical disciplines, navigation-assisted surgery has become standard of care, but in rectal cancer, indications for navigation and the utility of different technologies remain undetermined. METHODS The NAVI-LARRC prospective study (NCT04512937; IDEAL Stage 2a) evaluated feasibility of navigation in patients with locally advanced primary (LARC) and recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). Included patients had advanced tumours with high risk of incomplete (R1/R2) resection, and navigation was considered likely to improve the probability of complete resection (R0). Tumours were classified according to pelvic compartmental involvement, as suggested by the Royal Marsden group. The BrainlabTM navigation platform was used for preoperative segmentation of tumour and pelvic anatomy, and for intraoperative navigation with optical tracking. R0 resection rates, surgeons' experiences, and adherence to the preoperative resection plan were assessed. RESULTS Seventeen patients with tumours involving the posterior/lateral compartments underwent navigation-assisted procedures. Fifteen patients required abdominosacral resection, and 3 had resection of the sciatic nerve. R0 resection was obtained in 6/8 (75%) LARC and 6/9 (69%) LRRC cases. Preoperative segmentation was time-consuming (median 3.5 h), but intraoperative navigation was accurate. Surgeons reported navigation to be feasible, and adherence to the resection plan was satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS Navigation-assisted surgery using optical tracking was feasible. The preoperative planning was time-consuming, but intraoperative navigation was accurate and resulted in acceptable R0 resection rates. Selected patients are likely to benefit from navigation-assisted surgery.

Minimum radial margin in pelvic exenteration for locally advanced or recurrent rectal cancer. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2022; 48:2502-2508. [PMID: 35768314 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2022.06.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to clarify the suitable radial margin (RM) for favourable outcomes after pelvic exenteration (PE), focusing on the discrepancy between the concepts of circumferential resection margin (CRM) and traditional R status. METHODS Seventy-three patients with locally advanced (LARC, n = 24) or locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC, n = 49) who underwent PE between 2006 and 2018 were retrospectively analysed. Patients were histologically classified into the following 3 groups; wide RM (≥1 mm, n = 45), narrow RM (0-1 mm, n = 10), and exposed RM (n = 18). The analysis was performed not only in the entire cohort but also in each disease group separately. RESULTS The rates of traditional R0 (RM > 0 mm) and wide RM were 75.3% and 61.6%, respectively, resulting in the discrepancy rate of 13.7% between the two concepts. Preoperative radiotherapy was given in 12.3%. In the entire cohort, the local recurrence and overall survival (OS) rates for narrow RMs were significantly worse than those for wide RMs (p < 0.001 and p = 0.002), but were similar to those for exposed RMs. In both LARC and LRRC, RM < 1 mm resulted in significantly worse local recurrence and OS rates compared to the wide RMs. Multivariate analysis showed that RM < 1 mm was an independent risk factor for local recurrence in both LARC (HR 15.850, p = 0.015) and LRRC (HR 4.874, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Narrow and exposed RMs had an almost equal impact on local recurrence and poor OS after PE. Preoperative radiotherapy might have a key role to ensure a wide RM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reporting of pelvic exenteration specimens for locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) can be challenging for structured pathological analysis and currently, there is a lack of specific guidelines. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of pathology reporting in a cohort of patients who underwent pelvic exenteration for LRRC in a high-volume tertiary unit. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective analysis of histopathology reports of consecutive patients who underwent pelvic exenteration for LRRC from 1996 to 2018, the quality of pathology reporting was assessed using the Structure Reporting Protocol for Colorectal Cancer. The primary endpoint was the completeness of pathology reporting, secondary endpoints were the association between the reporting style (narrative versus synoptic), reporting period (the first half versus the second half), as well as the activity of the pathologists with the completeness of pathology reporting. RESULTS 221 patients who underwent pelvic exenteration for LRRC were included into the study. There was a high variability in completeness of pathology reporting within the cohort, ranging from 9.5% to 100%. Notably, microscopic clearance was reported in only 92.4% of the reports. Overall, a significantly higher rate of completeness was observed in synoptic reports when compared to narrative reports and in more recent compared to earlier reports. There was no significant association between the activity of pathologists and the completeness of reporting. CONCLUSIONS This study shows a significant variability in the quality of reporting in pelvic exenteration for LRRC. The use of synoptic reporting clearly resulted in more complete reports.

Abstract
Tumour infiltration of the lateral pelvic compartment has previously been associated with the highest rate of involved resection margins and carries significant risk of morbidity. In this study, consecutive patients undergoing pelvic exenteration at a single centre between 1994 and 2019 who required en bloc resection of the common or external iliac artery or vein were included.The results demonstrate that complete resection of the iliac vascular system, including resection and reconstruction of the common and external iliac vessels, can be performed safely during pelvic exenteration with oncological outcomes comparable to more central tumours.
